How Unknown Can You Go?

[Frantic]

In case anyone's wondering, you can vote even if you're not participating in the contest. It's easiest for me if you combine lots of votes into one or two posts, rather than a post for each vote.

:oops:

It ok Joey. It doesn't really make much difference whichever way.

Here's my first entry, from an acetate. It's a boy singing, not a girl.

I give this a 0.

 

[Frantic]

Not a fair game as I put this completely unknown ...even to guru MTM ... up last year or so.

This is all I got:- http://www.divshare.com/download/25992335-206

3 or 4 outta 10 downer moody garage from Charleston, W.V. - 1967.

I give this a 6.

 

[Hicksville Hogwash]

Man, Frantic your such a stickler.

 

[bosshoss]

I give this a 0.

0 is not the lowest score. It goes down to minus 10.

I will be desperately lost if I don't get rid of my first batch of ratings right away.
Considering the extreme obscurity of these tunes I'm very much amazed at the overall quality. Thanks for posting all this great stuff!

Frantic TopThis: 5/10 (the gaps are highly irritating, but it seems to be quite haunting)
Frantic My Life: 3/10 (a little inconsistent, but definitely a nice outro for a compilation)
Frantic Liphold Matron: 5/10 (pretty charming & unique; too bad the singer's voice is so muffled, but his rhythm is amazing)

Rick mystery track # 1: 6/10 (that's pretty much up my alley; too bad it's a bit lengthy)
Rick mystery track # 2: 5/10 (cool chorus and backing vocals; what are they singing in the chorus? if it has a cool message I might even raise the rating)

Don Julio 30 Mystery: 8/10 (killer!)
Don Julio I Need Your Love: 3/10 (a little average; the guitar riff at the end is outstanding though)
Don Julio Get With the Tempo: 7/10 (I really like that; maybe a little too melodic/hippiesque for TBM standards?)
Don Julio Why Don't You Realize: 4/10 (solid folk-rock, a bit middle-of-the-roadish)

Mansson66 Obviously xian: 3/10 (a bit too sloppy for my taste)

Bosshoss Catch you on the run: 2/10 (the vocals...)

Peppermint Southwest one: 5/10 (tough for me to rate; the overall sound is great, but the vocals are a bit boring; the guitar break then saves it)
Peppermint Westernasia: 2/10 (too hippy-rockish/funky for my taste)

OutsideLookinIn Entry One: 5/10 (might work well on the dance floor; a mover!)
OutsideLookinIn Entry Two: 7/10 (starts out rather mellow, but amazingly builds up; pretty awesome stuff! just listening again: this is DAMN good! epical! a really great find!)

Hicksville You Left Me Crying: 5/10 (haunting tune, good composition; close to 6)
Hicksville Theenvoys : 2/10 (too stiff and evangelical)
Hicksville Glass Menagerie : 3/10 (hard to tell; it's pretty scratched)

Man, Frantic your such a stickler.

you're lucky, 'cause if those 2 stinkers were allowed to be included they would be on your g45 credentials forevermore. You should be joyous i'm a stickler. I just saved you from a life of shame...ha!

 

[Hicksville Hogwash]

you listed this on the forum last year? If so I retract my votes because they are not allowed.

Next time I find an unknown 45 (25 years going by my current find stats) I will not share with my friends here and will sit and wait for the boss to do another competition.

.... and before Frantic says "keep yer crappy 1 / 2 finds to yerself " I'll get it in first..

ENTRY ONE:

http://clyp.it/burielzg

Title must be "When You're Alone."

Could have been a 6 with an aggressive break, but lacking that, I'm left with no choice but to give it a 4.

 

[Hicksville Hogwash]

damn it he already said it.

 

[Frantic]

Frantic TopThis: 5/10 (the gaps are highly irritating, but it seems to be quite haunting)

Sorry for the gaps, but since these will be released on a Frantic cd sooner than later, I refuse to let some ahole bootlegger beat me to the punch. Other guys aren't releasing their tracks so they aren't worried. Don't blame the band, blame me.

 

[Don Julio]

Might as well start things off with a 10. Here's one coming out soon. I've added some silent spots and saved it at 96 kpbs to stave off the boot boys.. I simply titled it TOP THIS...

Assume the title is "What is Man?" I give it a 6.

 

[Frantic]

Assume the title is "What is Man?" I give it a 6.

yep...

 

[Don Julio]

Here's a track sent in by mansson66. He describes it as...

"obviously xian... but still folk punky beat"
http://www.finerecordingstudio.com/posts/Mans_01.mp3

dig the fuzz bass.

Ouch. The Swedish Swaggs? Another 0 rating I'm afraid.

 

[axel]

You shouldn't have said you played it here. If noone would have remembered it, it would have qualified without a problem, if I understand the rules correctly...

 

[Frantic]

I think Lee De Parade will love this one. When and if he ever emerges from his private place.
